Chargers WR Mike Williams could miss entire season

Chargers WR Mike Williams could miss entire season

The Los Angeles Chargers didn’t believe receiver Mike Williams’ back injury wasn’t that serious upon initial examination, but reports are now saying he could miss the entirety of the upcoming season with said injury.

It was ESPN’s Adam Schefter who originally broke the news via Twitter.

Chargers' HC Anthony Lynn told the La Times that WR Mike Williams could be out all season.

After missing all of the preseason workouts and activities to this point, this certainly is Chargers coach Anthony Lynn’s worst fear for Williams, but isn’t certain of anything yet, per Dan Woike of the LA Times.

While the Bolts still have plenty of depth at the receiver position, it’s the fact that their top-10 selection from this year’s draft might not even suit up this season is what will likely bother Lynn and general manager Tom Telesco the most.

Teams certainly shouldn’t rush players back from injury; particularly back injuries, but if Williams can come in during the middle or end of the season and possibly provide a big play threat down the stretch, 2017 may not be a lost cause for the rookie receiver.
